From Keyboard, Video, Mouse Switch Security STIG
Part of KVM Smart (intelligent or programmable) keyboard
Associated with IA controls: DCBP-1
In an environment where the KVM switch is connected to ISs of different classification and/or sensitivity levels, a smart (intelligent or programmable) keyboard can transfer sensitive data from one system to another leading to the compromise of data.
The reviewer will interview the IAO and view the keyboard attached to verify that a smart keyboard is not in use when the KVM switch is attached to ISs with different clearance and/or sensitivity levels. Keyboards that include USB ports, smart card slots, and removable media slots are considered smart keyboards. Note that a keyboard that has extended functionality that is not programmable, like an internet keyboard, is not prohibited. Note: Having a CAC reader in the switch is acceptable, however, the host rather than the switch itself) must perform the authentication algorithms. Otherwise the switch must be approved by PKI PMO.
Replace the smart keyboard with a keyboard that is not a smart keyboard.
